N.B. reporting of the edit history is currently fairly unclear and misleading. Most edits made to specimens appear as a pair of 'add' and 'delete' entries, which may not be together in the list. There are also often 'minor' edits, which are made automatically (rather than due to user activity), for example to merge synonym names.

It's not clear who the collector is. There is a note saying that the specimen was presented by L.V. Lester-Garland, but not whether he was the collector, or just an owner of the collection.

This often is the case; it may indicate the 'herb person' is also the collector but not necessarily. It is best to enter just the info given on the sheet and leave the collector blank (or in converse cases the herb) - and also no need for 'sometime fellow etc'.
Happy editing!
